Atovaquone-resistant mutant Add-on ( Add on to canine tick panel) (PCA003)

Atovaquone-resistant mutant Add-on ( Add on to canine tick panel) (PCA003) Atovaquone-resistant mutant Add-on ( Add on to canine tick panel) Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Atovaquone resistance in dogs is associated with a mutation in the Babesia gibsoni mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, which can occur naturally or arise during treatment. This resistance develops due to a mutation in the CYT b (cytochrome b) gene of B. gibsoni.

Molecular typing of CPV2a, 2b, and 2c Add-on ( Add on to canine parvovirus) (PCB017)

Molecular typing of CPV2a, 2b, and 2c Add-on ( Add on to canine parvovirus) (PCB017) Molecular typing of CPV2a, 2b, and 2c Add-on ( Add on to canine parvovirus) Specimen type EDTA whole blood, feces Contents Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious and cause of acute, infectious GI illness in young and/or unvaccinated dogs. Dogs infected with parvovirus may show clinical signs of lethargy, anorexia, fever, vomiting and hemorrhagic small-bowel diarrhea. molecular typing of CPV-2 can determine the infection of three antigenic variants, CPV-2a, 2b, and 2c.

Giardia spp (PCB017)

Giardia spp (PCB017) Giardia spp. Specimen type Feces Contents Giardia infection in dogs can lead to weight loss, chronic intermittent diarrhea, and fatty stools. The stool often varies from soft to watery, typically has a greenish tint, and may occasionally contain blood. Infected dogs usually have excess mucus in their feces, and some may also experience vomiting.

Hepatozoon spp (PCB017)

Hepatozoon spp. (PCB017) Hepatozoon spp. Specimen type EDTA whole blood Hepatozoonosis is a disease transmitted by ticks, caused by a type of protozoan called Hepatozoon. This disease can be caused by two different protozoan species: Hepatozoon canis and Hepatozoon americanum. H. canis is found in many regions of the world, including Asia, Africa, the Caribbean islands, Europe, and South America, while H. americanum is primarily seen in the southern and southeastern regions of the United States. Infections induced by H. canis typically exhibit milder symptoms, as these pathogens tend to inhabit immune system locales such as lymph nodes and bone marrow, along with organs like the spleen responsible for blood storage. Consequently, manifestations commonly involve swollen lymph nodes, pale gums, and a general feeling of fatigue. Some pets infected with H. canis may present very mild symptoms or remain asymptomatic altogether. On the other hand, infections caused by H. americanum can result in more serious health complications if left untreated. Affected pets may display various symptoms, including increased body temperature, fatigue, decreased appetite leading to weight loss, muscle or bone pain, decline in muscle mass, and discharge from the eyes.  

Neospora caninum (PCB017)

Neospora caninum (PCB017) Neospora caninum Specimen type EDTA whole blood, feces, CSF Contents Neospora caninum is a type of protozoan parasite that is closely related and bears several similarities to Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite is responsible for causing abortion in cattle worldwide and also leads to neurological diseases in young calves, dogs, and other mammalian hosts. Domestic dogs and other canids serve as definitive hosts, while cattle predominantly function as intermediate hosts. Dogs typically don’t display signs of infection with this parasite. Nevertheless, certain puppies and adult dogs may exhibit symptoms. Puppies infected either before birth or shortly after birth are frequently severely impacted and may not survive. Symptoms in puppies commonly entail nerve and muscle abnormalities, often leading to partial paralysis of their hind legs. In adult dogs, manifestations may include neurological symptoms, skin inflammation accompanied by sores, liver inflammation, pneumonia, and heart inflammation.

Coxiella burnetii (PCB017)

Coxiella burnetii (PCB017) Q Fever (Coxiella burnetii) Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Q Fever is caused by the bacteria Coxiella Burnetii. The major (if only) indicator of Q Fever is reproductive problems resulting in some or all of the dog’s puppies presenting stillborn or deformed.

Canine distemper virus (PCB016)

Canine distemper virus (PCB016) Canine distemper virus Specimen type EDTA whole blood, Nasal swab, Nasopharyngeal swab、conjunctival swab, urine Contents Canine distemper is a contagious and serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems of puppies and dogs. Clinical signs include fever, nasal discharge, coughing, lethargy, reduced appetite, and vomiting.

Canine parainfluenza virus (PCB015)

Canine parainfluenza virus (PCB015) Canine parainfluenza virus Specimen type EDTA whole blood, Nasal swab, Nasopharyngeal swab、conjunctival swab Contents Canine parainfluenza virus is a highly contagious respiratory virus and is one of the most common pathogens of infectious tracheobronchitis, also known as canine cough.

Canine coronavirus (PCB014)

Canine coronavirus (PCS014) Canine coronavirus Specimen type EDTA whole blood, Feces Contents Most canine coronavirus infections are sub-clinical and produce few clinical signs in dogs. Occasionally an infection may cause more severe symptoms, particularly in young puppies. The most common signs include diarrhea, lethargy and decreased appetite.
